0.4(2x+1/2) = 3(0.2x+(-2))-4
0.4(2x+1/2) = 3(0.2x-2)-4

Now, we need to use distributive property
0.8x+0.2 = 0.6x-6-4
0.8x+0.2 = 0.6x-10
0.8x-0.6x+0.2 = -10
0.2x+0.2 = -10
0.2x = -0.2-10
0.2x = -10.2
x = -10.2/0.2
x = -51

Therefore, x = -51

So,

0.4(2x + 1/2) = 3(.2x + -2) - 4

Distribute
0.8x + .2 = .6x + -6 - 4

Collect Like Terms

0.8x + .2 = 0.6x - 10

Get rid of the smaller placeholder (add -0.6x to both sides)
0.2x + .2 = -10

Subtract 0.2 from both sides
0.2x = -10.2

Divide both sides by 0.2
x = -51

In 250-500 words explain the pythagorean theorem
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer: got u bro

The Pythagorean theorem is a formula to solve for hypotenuse the formula is a squared plus b squared equals c squared. The Pythagorean theorem was made by someone for math which is four triangles that A in the equation is for the side of the right triangle B is for the other side and C is the hypotenuse. the photographer in theorem states that the sum of the squared sides of a right triangle equals the length of the hypotenuse. It is a fundamental relationship between the three sides of a right triangle; you must use two sides in order to find the hypotenuse. many ways to make a formula for the Pythagorean theorem but the most popular one is a squared plus b squared equals c squared. there's a book and it's called the Pythagorean proposition it contains over 300 formulas for the Pythagorean theorem. a man who went by Pythagoras had found the Pythagorean theorem in the school of mathematics and Cortana he was a Greek Seaport in southern Italy he was going to get too many contributions to mathematics although some of them may have actually been the work of his students that he had taught. Pythagorean theorem is the most famous mathematical contribution in history. It was created in 1900 BC. the reason why it was created that the Egyptians wanted a perfect 90° angle to build the pyramids which were actually two right triangles whose hypotenuse form the edges of the pyramid. there is a rumor that the Chinese had also developed the Pythagoras Theorem using the areas of the sides long before Pythagoras himself.

1. Define the following: Odds ratio Relative risk 2. Describe how to calculate the Odds ratio and provde the formula. 3. Describ
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer and Explanation:

Odds ratio is the odds that an outcome would happen given a level of exposure in comparison to the occurrence of that outcome without exposure. Odds ratio is calculated by dividing odds of event occurring with exposure(the first group) by odds of event(usually disease) occurring without exposure. Odds is different from probability(denoted p/1-p). While probability is the number of favorable events divided by total number of events, odds is number of favorable events/number of unfavorable events.

Relative risk, also measuring relationship between exposure and outcome, is the ratio of the probability that an outcome would occur without exposure and probability that an outcome would occur with exposure.

nignag [31]

Answer:

£300.

Step-by-step explanation:

He has £900 left after paying rent.

The fraction he spends on bills = 3(4+3+2)

= 3/9

= 1/3.

So he spends 900 * 1/3 = £300 on bills.
